Our History ....

Saskatchewan Association of Theatre Professionals had its first Annual General Meeting on November 2nd, 2014, in Saskatoon, SK where new members began to sign theatres, and individual theatre professionals, into our membership. Initially created to represent the needs of Saskatchewan's professional theatre industry to government agencies, SATP seeks to empower, connect, and respond to the organizations and individuals that make up our community.

We not only represent professional theatre organizations, but individuals as well. We welcome and encourage membership from actors, directors, designers, artistic associates, playwrights, administrative staff, producers, technicians, stage managers, and every other position working in the professional theatre.

Purpose Statement: Vision, Mission, Values

Our vision is for a dynamic and unified community of theatre professionals contributing to a vibrant and diverse society.
